A low-key socialite town

Close to Paris and Roissy, many personalities come to spend a moment of calm for a day, but also to settle there. This is the case of Prince the Aga Khan with his family and the Rothschild family to which Gouvieux owes some of the most prestigious of its heritage: three castles built between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.

• The Domaine des Fontaines, which housed the largest Jesuit library in Europe with 600,000 books. Today it is a prestigious seminar center.
• The Château de Montvillargenne, a 4* hotel which hosts many seminars
• The Manoir Sans-Souci, today it houses a hotel and restaurant school.

The slopes of Gouvieux

An experimental vineyard of 2000 m2 on César's camp for the exploitation of nearly 2,000 feet of chardonnay! The first harvests in 2004 gave birth to the “Coteaux de Gouvieux”. The range was completed by the range "Pearl of Gouvieux", a sparkling wine of quality in the traditional method. In 2012, 500 vines of pinot noir were planted for a future rosé sparkling wine.

Gouvieux wished to reconnect with the tradition of 1141 when a royal act of Louis VI already mentions the existence of numerous vines on the soil of Gouvieux. Today the town still bears traces with its streets and localities such as: rue de la Treille, le clos du Roi...
